"Mr President, may I first of all take this opportunity to congratulate the rapporteur on an excellent report, as well as all involved in the committee’s work on this.
Certainly, when I first got involved I did not realise the extent of smuggling and the loss to the revenue that this brings. In my own region we have a massive problem with diesel smuggling and tobacco smuggling. Also, though I did not realise it, people-trafficking through my region into the United Kingdom mainland is substantial, and it is only the good work of the local police in recent times that has been able to save many people from this particular problem.
I think many of us do not really think about and appreciate the work that the police and many others do across borders, working together to actually grasp these very serious problems which we have in our midst and which, sometimes, are going on under our noses without us knowing what is happening.
So I think more must be done and I wish the rapporteur well as he works on this final report."@en1
